Title:	A uniform pressure electromagnetic actuator for forming flat sheets
Author:	Kamal, Manish
Description:	Electromagnetic forming can lead to better formability along with additional benefits. The spatial distribution of forming pressure in electromagnetic forming can be controlled by the configuration of the actuator. A new type of actuator is discussed which gives a uniform pressure distribution in forming. It also provides a mechanically robust design and has a high efficiency for flat sheet forming. An analysis of the coil is presented that allows a systematic design process. Examples of uses of the coil are then presented, specifically with regards to forming a depression, embossing and cutting. Some practical challenges in the design of the coil are also addressed. This work emphasizes the approaches and engineering calculations required to effectively use this actuator.
